There's this place near Taman TAR which has a great hiking track. There are two ways to go up one is the easy way using the Taman TAR route. Stairs have been made to make it easy for everyone to go up there. Another track is using the route from Emerald Condominium in Bukit Indah.
This is the track that I brought a bunch of my high school friends to try. They were so excited so yeah, we climbed up the track. It takes around 45 minutes if its your 1st time. If your fit enough, 20 minutes and you'll be able to reach up there in no time.
The road starts from a small temple in front of Emerald Condominium. There is a pit stop after about 5-15 minutes of hiking according to your fitness level. You are bound to sweat so remember to stay hydrated before you start the hike or bring a bottle of water just incase.
After the 1st pit stop, its about 10-20 minutes of up and down hiking until you reach a resting stop. Its a nice place and you can rest there and there is even a pull up bar for you if you want to do some exercise. c:
From, there, its all the way down for about 5-10 minutes until you reach a lake which is very very beautiful. I love the nature and once you reach there after the hike, you will feel awesome.
Here are a few pictures I took from Wanie's camera. Thanks for the photos Wanie! c:
On the way up. Let's go girls!
Reaching pit stop 1.
At the top of pit stop 2. This is the place where there is a pull up bar.

Second round going to the lake.
The small waterfall while walking around the lake.
This is the lake I was talking about. Isn't it nice? c:
The girls resting at the small island after coming out from the hiking route.
Them girls enjoying the view. After that you can rest under the shade at the back of the picture.
I'm glad my friends enjoyed the hike and the place we ended up at. From there, you can walk around the lake and then decide whether you want to walk back down using the Taman TAR route, or you can hike all the way up back using the Emerald route.
Thats all for now & A Happy New Year to everyone out there! Get yourself going for the coming 2012 year! Make the best out of 2012! c:
If you guys want to hike up using the Emerald route but don't know how, contact me and I'll be glad to lead you up. Nothing makes me happier than helping people participating in healthy activities. c:

Resting Heart Rate Chart
Got this chart from http://www.topendsports.com/testing/heart-rate-resting-chart.htm
Very interesting. Did you know a low resting heart rate indicates longevity, strong heart, energy level, better metabolic efficiency, better and athletic endurance fitness? c:
Don't know when to check your resting heart rate? Check your resting heart rate first thing when you wake up in the morning.
